    Others making videos while driving

    Returning home from some errands yesterday, I noticed a guy on my right with his cell phone camera held up to his driver's window, pointed at me -- and he kept the cell phone there for what seemed like a couple minutes. He was clearly filming my car. This was a bit annoying because of the amount of traffic around.

    Which leads me to wonder, have any of you ever found photos or video of your car online someplace? (YouTube, Flickr, etc?)

    I have, but never video, only pictures. I get people doing really dumb things too, like speed matching me, not watching the road, holding up traffic etc. Makes me a bit self-conscious to drive at times

    Not long after I got mine, I had some MORON in a lowered, primered Honda follow me down I-75, from the lateral to Hopple with a VIDEO CAMERA in his hand. Tailgated me all the way.

    The Cell Phone Stalkerazi are pretty common around I-275. On a sunny day, like today, expect a lot of thumbs ups, comments and cell phones pointed in your direction.

    I always whip my cell out and take a picture of the person taking my picture. Hey, if they can take mine, why can't I take theirs?

    Folks driving stupid to catch up to me, twice Ive had guys t
    going the other way who are turning left on advanced greens taking pics/filming as they were turning (both were double turn lanes so there were cars beside them). Comes with the territory I suppose, it just isn't great to see folks taking risks for a crappy cell phone photo when Google is full of great shots to download

    Kfabr8, the Cell Phone Stalkerazi was on I-75 northbound. Traffic was a mess due to construction on southbound I-75. Looking forward to that being done.

    Would be nice to get all of us R8 owners in town together at some point in the summer. Barbeque?

    i got a guy doing this when i was driving home from NJ to Toronto. After Syracuse, he was pretty much filming and taking pictures for a good 60+ miles. It was quite stupid to say the least. I think it was the I-90.

    Had a kid follow me for about 10 miles with his iPhone on I-95 near Baltimore. Kept sitting in my blind spot - really annoying. Also had a McDonald's kid politely ask me to take a photo of my car while I was in the parking lot. Haven't seen my own car on the Internet, but guess it comes with the territory.

    Re: Others making videos while driving

    I had two cars doing it at same time (one on each side of me) for a few miles yesterday. They were holding up traffic and I had a car in front of me so I could not go anywhere. Guess that is what we get for taking our cars out on a weekend...
